It was on this day in December 1883 in Moenchengladbach, Germany, that Joseph Pilates was born. Overcoming poor health as a child, Joe dedicated his life to improving his physical well being by drawing on several disciplines, including gymnastics and self defence.

In 1925 he emigrated to New York and opened his Eighth Avenue studio. Whilst his original clients were predominantly boxers, it wasnât long before the dancers from New York City Ballet discovered that his exercise method (which he called Contrology) helped prevent injury and improved their flexibility, strength and stamina. Soon his reputation spread and actors, gymnasts and athletes became devoted clients. Sadly at the time of his death in 1967 Contrology was still relatively unknown outside of New York .

Orlando Pilates and its popularity is due to its ability to aid in spinal rehabilitation, improve posture, and prevent injuries. Although Pilates was historically popular for dancers and those recovering from illness, Pilates is a great way to get in shape, improve coordination, and prevent physical and occupational injuries. One of the most important benefits of Pilates is that the exercises performed in a class promote mind-body awareness. This means that, with the help of Pilates exercises, Pilates students become more aware of their posture and movements and are able to transfer their in-class abilities to daily life.

I continue my passion in the art of movement by practicing Pilates, Tai Chi, and Yoga in my adulthood. My own experience explains that Pilates is a very good practice to improve Tai Chi and Yoga performances. Pilates, Tai Chi, and Yoga are the three classic, basic mind-body practices that were invented from a hundred to thousands of years ago.

Pilates is a body and mind conditioning method that synchronically stretches and strengthens the muscles, as well as creating breathing awareness. It was developed by Joseph Pilates from Germany in the early 1900s. He called his exercise method âThe Art of Contrology.â During World War I, he helped wounded soldiers by attaching springs to their beds while he was working with them. He and his wife migrated to the U.S. in 1926 and opened the first Pilates ... 18 Mar 2014 08:32 So did you know Joseph Pilates was a professional boxer?

His exact date of birth and the full names of his parents are unknown. His father, a champion gymnast, was Greek; his mother, who was German, worked as a naturopath. The family name, of Greek origin, is pronounced "Puh-lah-tees" and was derived from its original version, Pilatu.

As a child, Joseph Pilates suffered from a variety of ailments, including asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever, and was bullied by other boys.
